A 40-year-old Norwich woman was arrested Thursday after police said they found narcotics and her 18-month-old son in the car.

Sharon Ladd, of 42 Newton St., was pulled over on McKinley Avenue at 6:15 p.m. for speeding by officers from the Norwich Police Department’s Community Police Unit. Inside the vehicle, police said they found a “fair amount” of pre-packaged narcotics ready for street-level sale. Ladd’s son was also in the car.

Police seized approximately half an ounce of crack cocaine, 75 assorted narcotic pain pills, more than 1 1/2 ounces of marijuana and a small amount of cash.

The child was turned over to a family member after Ladd was arrested, police said.

Ladd is charged with possession of crack cocaine, possession of crack cocaine with intent to sell, possession of less than 4 oz. of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to sell, risk of injury to a minor, operating under suspension and traveling unreasonably fast.

According to court records, Ladd is already due in court March 26 on charges of illegally operating under suspension and not wearing a seat belt. She is also due in Norwich Superior Court next month for failure to obey traffic signals and again driving while her license was suspended.

Residents who wish to report suspicious activity in their neighborhoods are urged to call the Norwich Police Department at (860) 886-5561 or the anonymous tip line at (860) 886-5561, Ext. 500.
